Impact on Urban Health
We are Impact on Urban Health. We focus on improving health in inner-city areas. The places that we grow up, live and work impact how healthy we are. And where we work in London, like many other cities, is home to the best and worst health – often side by side. Through our work, we challenge health inequalities and help urban areas become healthier places for everyone to live. Formerly Guy's and St Thomas' Charity.
